The Hutchinson Center is named after University of Maine President Frederick E. Hutchinson, who was President from 1992-1997.

The University of Maine, Hutchinson Center, located in one of the fastest growing regions of Maine, provides the people of midcoast Maine with opportunities to pursue a college degree, professional development, and lifelong learning.

MISSION STATEMENT

The Hutchinson Center of the University of Maine will provide high quality undergraduate, graduate and professional development education, as well as cultural opportunities, in a supportive and flexible environment for the people of the region.

GENERAL POLICIES

• The Hutchinson Center offers free coffee to all students. This is available in the kitchen, along with paper cups, cream and sugar. Our students should also feel free to use the microwave if they wish. Although the refrigerator may be used by our students, we ask that you not leave food in the refrigerator overnight. Shelves are marked for your items.

• Although the Hutchinson Center encourages a student's family to visit, we ask that children not be brought to any class whether live or ITV. We must respect the fact that all students deserve to gain the most from their classes and distractions in any form, including cell phones, are discouraged.

• Pets are not permitted in the Hutchinson Center at any time. The only exception would be for seeing eye dogs or any pet certified as being essential to the well being of a student, staff or visitor. The reasons for this are many and can be shared on request.

• Unless it has been reserved for another use, our Atrium is available to our students as a study area, a place to visit, or have a meal or snack with a friend, or just for some quiet time.

• Any items found on the premises are placed in a "Lost & Found" Drawer in the office. Please ask in the front office if you are missing something that may have been left here.
